To sum up... it's better in a few ways, worse in a few ways, and "ho hum, it's just different" in a LOT of ways. But the few negatives are really a sticking point with many of us who watch the movies for nostalgia (and not having to worry about how the prequels "tie in"... I mean, the prequels should spin their own story and "fit" based on their own sequence, he shouldn't have to tweak the old movies to "fit" right?).
